How often are you checking your social media numbers? The reality is what you measure grows, so if you're not measuring your social media numbers it's hard to say if anything you're doing is actually working.Let me say this... It's not all about numbers but for SOME goals (like getting a book deal with a publisher, or speaking at BIG events) having big numbers can be extremely helpful.That's not to say it's not just about the likes, you also need to watch your traffic and engagement. Those are the numbers that lead to meaningful growth in your business. ResourcesJoin the VIP CommunityGet your Backstage PassRock Star Resource GuideConnect with MeGet YOUR question on a future episodeEmail me at hello@thestaceyharris.comTweet with me and include #HittheMicBe sure to leave your review on iTunes or Send us a textTired of your podcast feeling like just another thing on your to-do list?

I love networking online, it brings the power of building relationships together with the comfort of yoga pants. It can be done well, and it can be done poorly - today I'm giving you 3 tips on how to make sure it goes well.Word of warning - we're talking about building real relationships and community, not jumping in and asking for the sale. I'm giving real talk about why it's critical to treat those avatars the same way you would a face to face conversation. Second word of warning - don't underestimate the value of coupling this with in person networking. Both can be better when you bring  a little strategic face to face time into the mix. ResourcesJoin the VIP CommunityJoin us BackstageTwitter Cards Free Training Connect with MeGet YOUR question on a future episodeSend us a textTired of your podcast feeling like just another thing on your to-do list?

It's been a wonderful group of women.When eWomenNetwork founder Sandra Yancey joined us at our chapter lunch several months ago she shared about conference and I knew I had to go, and go I did.
